Cindy and James having fun at the lake. Our lakes have been dry until recent rains filled them all. Lake Trammel is a place where we can go as a family and just throw a line in the water or just have fun laughing at each other. Rusty and Steven recently made us all laugh after the initial shock. They turned the boat they were in over in the lake. It was just a little fishing boat but, scared us all when we heard the big splash. We do require life jackets and yes, they had theirs on. They are good swimmers -- thank God!

Our precious grandson James - our first grandchild. We are extremely proud of him! James provides us with many joys. We look forward to each day with James!

Life seems to be spinning faster and faster! Each day Rusty and I look up and its already 10 p.m. at night. We are in the process of a ton of old and new projects and we need to find an end to at least one of them. Life is always exciting at the Goates Household!
